"N1+V1+N2+V2"is one of the structures which is frequently used in the modern Chinese. When comes to grammatical research, it is called as linkage formation, conjunction predicate structure in the some present grammar works, dissertations and teaching material, some even calls it as amalgamation or superposition of linkage formation and conjunction predicate structure. Hereby, we carry out the overall research on this structure, reclassify the so called"conjunction predicate structure"by Zhu Dexi, and categorize this structure into three subclasses: simultaneous verbal structure, linkage formation and serial predicate construction of simultaneous verbal structure.Looking back to the past research, we found that simultaneous verbal structure never got any specialized research as an independent sentence pattern. In this article, we begin with chapter 1 in respect of syntax and sentence frame as to discuss the syntactic features of the simultaneous verbal structure. Chapter 2 tries to discover the essential of the structure by taking advantage of transformational-generative grammar, and study on the transformation from the deep-layer structures to surface-layer structures. Then, we work on the relationship between N1,N2 and V1 to see which N plays the major role, analyze V2 and the concerned noun component in the sentence, therefore, find out the rules.Additionally,based on the study of the unique status of the verb in the sentence pattern structure, chapter 3 also attempts to theoretically explain the structure by the by means of valence, timeliness, definition and non-definition as to discover some certain features. Finally, we expatiate this structure by the principle of economy in language and the cognition pattern of"simplification".
